p2i(utilities) — Alias Research v2.1

NAME

p2i − convert Pixar frame buffer format files into run-length encoded files

DESCRIPTION

p2i translates a PIXAR stored picture file into two separate IRIS picture files, one for the RGB component, and the other for the ALPHA component. The PIXAR stored picture file must have been saved as RGBA 8-bit dumped mode by sv for p2i to translate the pixel data.

USAGE

p2i [ -flags] path_name PIXAR_file

-o # #: force x and y offsets to be # #
-v:      be excessively verbose
-r:      automatic removal of PIX and MASK files
-s:      silent mode

EXAMPLE

p2i -o 0 479 /usr/harry tigers
will cause p2i to search in the directory /usr/harry/pixar for a file called "tigers" and use the data contained therein to create a file called "/usr/harry/pix/tigers" and a file called "/usr/harry/mask/tigers" containing the RGB and ALPHA runlength data respectively. The created files will load in the lower left hand corner of the Iris console.
